Getting a bit fed up of being a bit short of 100% these days.

End result, cat naps during the afternoon, and in the meantime jobs pile up.

So England won their rugby match last weekend while Scotland came second again, just have to keep trying.  Just as well I had been to a meeting of the Squaremen in the Mither Shed, so the pain of disappointment was somewhat dulled !!!

Having had multiple visits over the past five years to the Hospital and all sorts of good care from the NHS I am a bit fed up of the media and politicians using it as a vote catcher - time they sorted out the drunks, druggies and time wasters who keep tipping up at A & E departments.   Obviously bed blocking is a problem and everyone seems to make remarkable recoveries to get them home and free up beds - just a pity that the planners paid no head to the warnings about an ever increasing elderly population, and of course the increase of immigrants does not help, not that of tourist patients.

Only a few months ago Fishy Salmond was making a great noise about Scotland's oil revenue and what it would do for s if we got our independence;  now we are being told that if that had happened we would now be bankrupt and probably have lost all our savings - which at the moment are worthless, unless we take out pensioners bonds.      Mr Cameron now says that with all the money we are saving on fuel cost we should be giving staff pay rises,  however as far as the Bar is concerned any savings on fuel costs are negated by the slump in sales of alcohol to customers who are driving.  For a country pub, dependant on travelling customers and without food to offer, the writing is on the wall, and the supermarkets, who have no control over their customers are laughing all the way to their offshore accounts.

Took myself off to the Mining Museum at Newtongrange on Saturday where Motorrad BMW were having an open day and display of some new BMW motorcycles,   sorry guys, but display area was a bit gloomy, much prefer to visit your showroom in Dalkeith - however,  having said that I enjoy my trips into TWO WHEELS at Edinburgh, who have a wider choice of makes on display (for those who are not star struck on the BMW marque).
